|
| 0840-1000 | Red/Blue Discrimination Wargame Demonstration Mr Louis Tirino and Mr Brian Lewis, MIT Lincoln Laboratory Discrimination of the warhead(s)
from nonlethal objects in a target complex is critical for a
successful Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) engagement. The
Lincoln Laboratory Red/Blue Discrimination Wargame serves as
an opportunity to participate in an interactive
demonstration and apply advanced concepts in BMD to the
challenge of discrimination. The audience, comprising the
Blue Team, will be given an introduction to advanced
concepts and then be challenged to perform discrimination on
a threat complex using the features from the available
sensors. The scenario, devised by the Red Team, will test
the abilities of the Blue Team to exploit information from
advanced sensor algorithms and decision logics. |
